Rosegarden Essence Sintra

yes. the staff was very kind and the hotel very cosy.

This place was absolutely charming with lots of characteristics!! We stayed 2 nights in the room 'Moon River'(queen size bed). The room was very clean, spacious and with lovely big windows. We appreciated the attention in the small details. Breakfast was great and met our needs (cold and hot options). The location was excellent and walking distance (15min) to old town of Sintra (keep in mind you're on a mountain so lots of hills/steep climbs). Plenty of free street parking in the "loop", but if theres a church service or such then parking can be challenging in the loop. I would absolutely go back to this place! We regret not staying one more night, there is so much to visit/see in Sintra with all the different Palaces and Heritage sites.

Our stay at Rosegarden was easily one of the highlights of our entire trip across Portugal. The unique and colorful design aesthetic is what initially drew me in, and this did not disappoint in person. All the spaces were beautiful without being gaudy, and clearly much thought went into the style. Everything else was simply icing on the cake. Staff were kind and attentive, the breakfast complete, fresh, and delicious, the rooms exceptionally clean, superbly comfortable, and quiet. Just how quiet? During our time in Sintra there was an impressive two-day-long windstorm passing through. The noise outside was constant and significant. However, the windows in our room were so solid that it was essentially silent inside. We would open the windows to the roaring wind for a few moments for fresh air, then close them and it was as if we were sealed in a soundproof chamber. This and everything else contributed to some of the best sleep I think I've ever had on a vacation. We honestly did not want to leave. Thank you, Rosegarden, for being one of the most memorable accommodations we've ever had! I sincerely hope to return someday. Derek & JP.
